While the pandemic may have changed the way we celebrate our annual festivals, the people of Uttar Pradesh's Braj region and travellers from all corners of the country have come together to continue the legacy of the legendary Holi of Braj, the birthplace of Lord Krishna. The region includes Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana and Nandgaon. Every year, lakhs of devotees arrive here to immerse in the festivities and seek blessings from Lord Krishna for a prosperous year ahead. 

We totally feel you if you have missed a trip to Braj this year. Allow us to take you through a virtual journey as you relish those hot and yum gujias your mom just made. 

Here's wishing our readers a very Happy Holi. Scroll on.
